With a timeless beauty that's more than skin deep, the BLR Lightweight '81 is ready and waiting to be your favorite Lever Action Rifle. Its black walnut stock is finished with a durable gloss to protect and enhance the natural beauty of the hardwood, while the aircraft-grade alloy receiver has a polished blued finish for added elegance. But, like we said, the beauty goes much deeper than the surface.

Each barrel is triple-checked for straightness, then individually finished with a hand-reamed chamber, making for tighter tolerances and precise headspace. Plus, the generously-sized ejection port and drilled-and-tapped receiver make it a perfect match for any scope you choose. This is what a serious lever action rifle should be, and what every other lever action wishes it was.
